...this would make E2EE effectively meaningless, because no amount of encryption will protect against getting scanned at the entrance and exit.
And then some incompetent contractor will put the backdoor key onto their GitHub and completely destroy everyone’s privacy
Yeah exactly, it's very, very stupid and not something any service that actually bothered to enable E2EE in the first place would ever seriously consider.
AND it would probably break laws in other countries that actually value privacy or security. It's not like they'd be making a UK-only client for every fucking app or device that uses encrypted communications
